of the market through 2021 is expected to come from the increasing
application of RFID technology in the industrial and retail sectors”

This research report titled ‘Global
RFID Market 2017-2021’ provides an in-depth analysis of the
market in terms of revenue and emerging market trends. This market
research report also includes up to date analysis and forecasts for
various market segments and all geographical regions.

The radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology uses the
electromagnetic signature that accompanies the radio frequency in a
specific spectrum to communicate information, which is mostly one
way. The increasing number of applications for the RFID technology
is one of the key factors responsible for the growth of the market.

Technavio’s sample reports are free of charge and contain multiple
sections of the report including the market size and forecast, drivers,
challenges, trends, and more.

Based on the product type, the report categorizes the global RFID market
into the following segments:

RFID tags

Middleware

Passive RFID systems

Active RFID systems

The top three revenue-generating product segments in the global RFID
market are discussed below:

RFID tags

“RFID tags are the most popular product offering of the market,
responsible for generating 40% of the overall global revenue. The growth
of the market through 2021 is expected to come from the increasing
application of RFID technology in the industrial and retail sectors,”
says Chetan Mohan, a lead analyst at Technavio for embedded
systems research.

RFID tags are programmed to respond to a particular frequency and
wavelength, based on which they are further divided into low frequency,
high frequency, and ultra-high frequency segments. The falling average
selling price of these RFID tags is another factor that will drive the
unit sales of the product.

Middleware

Middleware is currently the fastest-growing product in the RFID market,
with analysts projecting it to showcase a CAGR of over 11% through 2021.
RFID middleware is used in the accurate recording and analysis of
internal databases and integrating it with ERP, CRM, WMS, and track and
trace applications.

The growth of the segment is expected to originate from the increasing
number of vendors offering middleware solutions and the entry of global
players such Google (Alphabet) and Microsoft in the software RFID
solutions segment. Also, the increase in demand for customized solutions
for small and medium-sized businesses is also expected to impact the
market segment.

Passive RFID systems

“Passive RFID systems are expected to be worth over USD 3 billion
by 2021, due to the revenue generated from RFID readers and dedicated
antennas. Since a single RFID reader can read many multiple tags of
different frequencies at the same time, it is finding increasing adoption,”
says Chetan.

Most organizations procure a limited number of RFID readers based on the
scale and size of the supply chain or inventory. Passive RFID systems
are configured to the frequency of RFID tags to read multiple
frequencies of RFID tags. Also, the falling average selling price of the
passive RFID systems are expected to promote the adoption of RFID
solutions among end-users.
